Hello. Welcome to the Safina society podcast, I guess.
So first question to you. Yep. Dr. Shetty, what's your favorite sort
of alumnus. And why? The reason is that it was a first sort of that
had actual relevance, not relevance, but use, or I should
say that I actually recited it and would recite it often, when I was
in trouble, right. And young people get in trouble in different
little silly ways, some people worse than others. But let's say
if it was for school, or if it was some jam, I did something that I
did bad, or something that was wrong. Having memorized the small
surah was like, the suit is telling you if you're in this type
of hardship, right? And then it tells you, you know, gives you
something positive, it tells you that things are going to get
better for you right? In with hardship, there's ease verily with
that hardship, there's ease. So I would recite that sort of every
time that I was in trouble with either school or behavior or
something like that. So why don't we put you guys on the spot? Well,
it's nice.
I think probably sort of Bukhara
very, I mean, if you, that's, if you read it really suffices
as well. So Bukhara, like encompasses all of Islam, and I
love what I love about sports and buckler. It's actually very easy.
It's sort of an introduction about human beings, humanity at large
are the believers, non believers, and hypocrites, right? And then
it's all stories of Benny Salatin stories of Prophet Adam, but also
many slide, right. And then it's all again, all laws, laws, laws,
laws, laws, with a little bit of an inter mission, I guess you
could say, at the end of the second just, it's more stories of
Venezuela eat and then it closes with the famous cola team of
students.
Yes. Sorry to put every I mean, no, it's it's not putting me on
the spot. I mean, there's so much that you could say here, right?
I would say on my own is my favorite.
You know, for all the obvious reasons, the tremendous the way
that it the way that it speaks directly to my own shortcomings
every time the fact that it's a perfect reflection of the
shortcomings of the modern OMA
the world that we see around us.
It's it's a good check on your own Yifat
especially when you're rushing through the answer prayer, right?
I mean,
well, I sort of the Sahaba or words described that they'd love
to us and more than they love their families.
Yeah, so there was actually an incident in which they wanted to
kill a Muslim. So they said are there are some Muslims in camps
and another tribe wanted to kill them. So they said wait until they
have a prayer called us that they love more than they love their
families. So wait for them till the prey Austro and then you can
kill them off.
Well, they didn't know though that the Sultan hope was
so they hamdulillah the deen is really practical. And so lots of
hope is when you're fearing for your lives. They you pray with one
but you still want to pray with one. Amen. Right? So there's this
physical thing is not just about efficiency, because why don't you
have the group pray half watch the other half pray the other half
watch. Right? So this there's still something about having one
Imam. So Allah wants us to have one Imam so one imam prays to it
because let's say it's for like our prayer and have the group
watches and have the watches guard and have the group prays and then
the Imam he stay seated for the Tisha hood. Right the whole time
and all his job is to just stay seated and wait for the iqama
right so the first group will pray raka three and four and salaam the
next group will call the event all get together and call the accommo
once they call the karma he gets up and then he starts reading his
third and fourth raka which is their first and second Wow So
that's called so lots of hope. I knew of Salah will hope but I
didn't know it was done now. Yeah, I mean, the funny thing is for the
Quran is so lots of hope is described but the actual nuts are
to non cough is not
regular salon has not described how to do it. That's how it took
off as described. So this is Muslims are in danger for their
lives. Yeah. And they're still adhering to praying behind one
human behind one Amen.
So when I see people arriving late at the masjid and making their own
little man in the middle of the of the masala Come on, man. So what
are you so I mean it let's say you do get there genuinely late. So
then what do you do is pray by yourself, you should accept the
punishment of your tardiness, which is that you don't get the
reward of praying and Jamaat in the masjid. Yeah. And because you
actually didn't make it in accordance ematic it's stuck
behind the membership, because they have what's called the
Emirati, which is the permanent Imam is actually a Sharia
position. Right. Right, and reward the reward of Jummah prayer.
or is to pray behind the Imam of the mosque. So if we arrived five
minutes late and the slide is finished, right and make our own
Gemma, it's not Gemma. Right? It's not your mouth. Yeah. What if
there is no established like Jama? Yeah, that's different than you're
living in an anarchic state. You need to get an imam. Yeah, that
sounds, but that actually, that actually might even come into
question about the conditions of a masjid. Right. It'll still be a
masjid. But I mean, one of the things about a mustard is that
five prayers are established and established. On the basis of do we
get four uncles? But yeah, so I can tell you examples like that. I
mean, not not Martini as mustard. But there's a couple here, right?
There's like the Turkish messages. I mean, there, it's, nobody's
there. Most of the times it's drama. And then like anybody who
kind of wants to pray it's like, so it's not really the five salons
are not established. Now open with any man for over five for correct.
Yeah. So it's not
just gonna show you
what I mean in this. They do have less use messages. They do have
like prayer times online. It's like, okay, we have thought
awesome. Like, so if somebody is there, they will lead it but also
it's like a population issue. So that community is possibly
collectively sinful.
Like it's an obligation, right? That you have to have somebody
it's it's, it's fun to fire the establishment if nobody does it.
It's It's haram on everyone. Wow. So now speaking of the core team
of suitors and buckler, there's a b this is a beautiful Hadith and
in management and in Norman
Ivanova, Shira kala kala Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam in the lights Allah Ketubah key turban, cobbler and Yahoo
customer what are the L Fe M? Allah Allah has written a document
before He created the heavens in the earth by 2000 years. We'll who
are in the Arsh and it's with the throne thoughts. We know ends Ella
Minho, a teeny Katana via Surah Al Baqarah and from this document two
parts of it two lines from it have been
revealed and they are the two last two suitors as of salted Bacara
Well, hola yo Qurani feeder insalata Leyland for Carabas
shippon if there they are never recited in a house three nights in
a row except the shades on can never enter it. So if you recite
it for three days in a row creates a type of barrier for Shayateen to
come into it. Alright, but if you don't, then you know that barrier
will be the another one says NLP Hurayrah Radi Allahu Anhu Carla,

Right actually, it's on flees from the house from which suited
Bukhara is recited. And that was by Muslim and the previous one
about the document that created before 2000 years before their
heaven and earth is from mmm, Timothy Shala what what's, what's
modern grading
doesn't matter. So I think the the main topic that we wanted to bring
up for today's episode is the importance of the Quran. Right?
And not so just a general idea of the importance of the Quran but to
discuss, you know, why, especially the the remembrance and the
recitation and the tilava of the Quran has fallen in, in, I would
say it's fallen a lot in the Western world, right amongst
Muslims. I know, especially if you look at you know, even the past
generation, whether it's immigrants or nonimmigrants, you
know, I feel like that the tendency to read and do to that,
well, if the Quran even in the, as late as the 90s, right? It was
there, even especially amongst Salafi communities. It was there,
when the,
the deobandis interviewees were around as well this was big,
right, the tilava of the Quran, it's, I find it very interesting
that over the years, people have, you know, started to learn more,
take more classes, read books, and all of these things. And yet the
tilava of the Quran and the remembrance of the vicar of the
Quran has fallen. And I'm just curious as to why that's happened.
And to talk about the importance of this, I'm gonna jump in with a
quick, quick story about this. I know of a an older,
convert, became a Muslim later in life, and, you know, busy with
family and life and work, so never really had time to study Arabic.
But he loved the Quran so much listen to it all the time,
recitation of and memorized long students in translation, memorize
them knew the translation of it by memory. Like that was his love
that the amount of love that he had for the Quran, both the
meanings in translation and the recitation of it.
And I think that that type of
that type of story can be related of a lot of people I know even my
mother
My grandmother, grandfather, I mean, so many people I can think
of doing like, hotter and hotter than hot tubs of Quran and like,
I'm just like, oh, like, you know, put on that's really hard even in
Ramadan.
And I relate not only to forestall anybody who was ARB, Arabic, so
Oh, yeah, fine. Absolutely. There's translations, good ones.
Now, I have an idea about that is that in the in our material
society, everyone's looking for something that we are notion of
value is different. Right? So learning something is a value,
right? Whereas just reciting something is viewed as not a
value. Right? Think about that. Like, okay, I just recited what's
the value in that? What can I do with that afterwards? But what we
have to realize is that, in our deen, we do have a substance that
is called no to that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada tells us about prophets, I
send them tells us about it. It's a substance. It's a subtle
substance, which is granted to people when they do a bad. And
it's grants to people, it's function is discernment, it allows
for discernment, it allows for you to see the truth as truth, and
follow it and avoid and see the falsehood as falsehood and
hopefully avoid it. So without the concepts and belief, and the of
the pivotal role of light in the individual and the community and
the world at large, then you'll find that worship goes down and
decreases, right? Whereas the opposite is the case once we when
we when we think in this type of materialistic way, where
everything has a value that's outwardly visible right away. All
right. At that point, you're not going to want to do worship,
you're gonna want knowledge, right? But that community is very
similar to the community, we're warned that is similarity of the
Jews, where they have a lot of knowledge, but their hearts are
not softened by worship. Like the Quran tells us to say the prophets
I seldom explain certain Fatiha as an Maluhia they him is the hoot.
Right. Which was one of my problems with the study of Quran
because they say that, in one narration, it's attributed popular
narration, it's attributed that the messenger of peace be upon him
said that of Moldova, they are those who are whose God is angry
with or the Jews and the those who are straight or the Christians.
And they said that, and that was one of the highest authority or
authoritative, great, right? What they meant is it's not much
awaited.
But they didn't tell you what that is. Right? So it's will play with
playing around with words in a in a certain way that Okay, are you
trying to soften it for your mom and dad who may be Christian, a
Jew? I mean, no, then don't say that at all. Right? It's not
that's not the way they're doing it. No, they think that Jews and
Christians are okay if they're Jews and Christians, and
we know that. Now if I would say look, okay, let's say you don't
want to cite an anti
Hadith like that. Don't say that at all. But to misc misrepresent
it like that. Right? And, of course, we know that their what
their doctrine is of the printings, but in any event, the
the idea of being full of knowledge, but you have no
softness of heart. Okay, that even happens. And I'm not talking about
selfies that even happens among Muslim groups, where you have, you
have people who have really high academic standards, they, they,
they, their credentials are unassailable.
But where's the Rosmah? No, it's where's the where's where's the
where's the even the open mindedness to the rest of
normative Islam, it's my way or the highway and the rest of you
people, you it might be acceptable and alumni forgive you for being
like, a normal Ashati shaft or something. But you're not part of
my group, you're out. Yeah. And also, you got to think that Islam
was, you know, the messengers of Allah who it was sudden and wants
to produce, he produced people, and he wants us to be like those
who were people that you would want to be with, not just want to
learn from so there's a big difference between a scholar that
I'd really love to learn from him versus a human being that I want
to sit with. And the prophets I send them all look at the
character traits that he implements are imparted upon the
sahaba. One of them was a movement, elephant, aloof, right?
Or elephant aloof, which means he's easy to get to know. And he
gets he gets to know people easily and he's easy to get to know he's
approachable, right? And so a balanced religion is one in which
you have knowledge at the same time you're a human being that you
want to sit with. Right and there are some you know, scholars who
worship for people you just love to be around right right. They're
like the MISC shops. The whole person is a MISC shop, you just
want to sit with them. And a bad does that for people now he said
that the the Saddam,
the Christians, are PR people of much worship, but no guided law.
Right. So that's the critique there. And it's not so this is for
though, let's say we have a Christian friend of ours who's
listening. Like I don't have a problem with Christians, right?
I'm just saying this is what our religion says in terms of how we
approach the religion is not doesn't mean that
We're not going to talk and even be friends. I don't have a
problem. I don't have prom with anyone. Right. And I was thinking
the other day, I actually have never, ever said anything about
gays and homosexuals themselves. I've only said about people who
claimed that this is acceptable in Islam. Right. That's my issue.
I've never had an issue with the individual himself. Well, I mean,
I had a colleague at Trinity College, German department, right?
He was gay, like, openly, German, German, I'm so surprised. I know.
So, like I never had. That's, that's what he does. Right? I do
have a problem, though. If someone's going to tell me this is
part of Islam. Now we're going on the rights of something else.
Islam has its own rights, right? So it's like, I don't have a
problem if you're if your dog comes in, and does what he wants
on my lawn, but he shouldn't do it on, you know, my mom's law,
because that's someone else's rights. So Islam has rights. And
if you're a student of Islam, your job if you're, you know, teaching,
your job is to clarify what Islam is and isn't. So this is actually
just for the record, because you won't find ever I made a statement
about those individuals. It's only about the progressives altering
our deen inside of it. That's the issue. And just in case, there's
some guy that goes through looking for one.
To be fair, I mean, maybe it's an exception or something here or
there. So to be fair, there is a there is a strong argument to be
made that
individual, especially broadly accepted individual homosexuality
is harmful to society, yeah, detrimental to the society as a
whole, not just on a spiritual level. And on a very basic
material level, it's, it's harmful, health wise, it's harmful
to children, it's harmful to children, because of the predatory
nature of certain certain types of homosexual communities. Like all
of the middle ones.
It's it's harmful for relationships between women, you
know, the highest levels of intimate partner violence, what
would you use to call domestic violence, but it's, it includes
people that don't live in a domestic situation is between
women. Yeah, like lesbians. There's nothing, there's nothing
more. And I say this, in all seriousness, you have two women in
an intimate relationship, that is a lot of jealousy, a lot of
control. And it becomes really, really difficult for them to get
along for a long period of time. It's very it's, it's, it's way
worse than any other relationship in terms of the fighting, and then
eventually the violence. But even in that commentary, that's not an
attack on individuals. You're sharing an idea, right? A critique
of an idea, right? That's not an attack on an individual. Like, or
even you didn't even make an attack on a big group. I mean,
it's not our topic, it's usually the victims of something. You
know, what's really crazy? And why I love Surah bacana is most of
what you guys been talking about. These are the themes of the first
four. First Four,
was
the, the explanation of why the McDougal led him and while Darlene
is sort of, so Bacala talks about the, the faults, the outward
faults, right? Where the Jews, they would have all this
knowledge, it's talking about archetype, right? It's not talking
about necessarily a religion. Judaism is a demonstration of that
archetype. The Jews during the process on time, maybe even now,
who knows? But it's talking about an archetype of all this
knowledge. Yeah, but no. Devoted action. Yeah, right. No honesty,
no sort of sincerity. None of that is a heart that's dead in sight.
So you have the famous verse in Surah, Baqarah.
Their hearts became hard, right? Even harder than stones. And you
know, there are some stones that waterflow out of right. So is that
famous, famous verse sort of summarizing what belcarra is
trying to do for you. Right. Then then you have slalom run, which
interestingly, talks about the Christians. Yeah, yeah. So it's
talking about and then it also include all the Imran, it's also
praising some of the Christians, right, where there's that verse,
which has, you know, you'll see many of them that are devoted,
right? But what is their fault, they don't have proper laws, they
don't have boundaries in their worship. And they had a doubt
about their doctrine, they have doubt about their doctrine. So
it's this Islam is this balancing act between confusion on the one
on the one hand and a lot of order, and the other hand between
justice and mercy. And what's really cool, is those two ending
verses of Surah Baqarah. It's summarizing the creed of Islam.
Right? As if to say, look at look at all these bad examples. Here's
what's right. Yeah, right. And Subhan Allah, this is, to me, when
you talk to the talk about the Quran like this with people with
people that you're trying to teach the Quran to. They get excited
about the Quran. But oftentimes what happens is, we force people
to recite Quran and they don't know what they're reciting. They
don't understand what it is. They don't. Some of the kids that I
teach at Sunday school, there's like, why am I doing this? Right?
So, Alex, I was just gonna say that to Dr. Charlie's point that
we're not
that if we have a Christian friend or admission assistant, this is
just good advice for you. Like we're telling you where the
shortcomings might be in the way that your co religionists have
implemented the revelation that came to you. Of course, the better
advice is Sal, Allahu Allah, Muhammad Rasul Allah. And I'm not
saying that facetiously, like, the better advice is become a Muslim,
I did it. So it's doable. You can join, you'll be colder than you
are now trust me.
But in the meantime, also make your make your community better if
you're a Christian, you see where you're going wrong. If you have
any kind of conservatism and your bones, you see where your where
your core religions have gone wrong, they've gotten too soft and
too easy. And it's anything goes you know, you have rock concerts
on Sundays now, basically, instead of worship and they have in
deduces the opposite. And there are a lot of voices, a lot of
people inside of Christianity, calling for a return to what
works. Yeah. I think what you mentioned, you know, right, in the
beginning is the modern.
I think a lot of the the reason why people do not recite the Quran
and study the Quran as much is because of modernity, right? Like
you mentioned, because it's not as productive. Right? And I think,
another trap that the student of knowledge, or, you know, just just
anybody in today's world falls into, of shaitan is, you know,
why? They were I know what happens to me many times, and I have to
remind myself, it's like, oh, you know, you're reciting the Quran,
it's like, oh, shouldn't you be studying Iraqi though or, or, you
know, studying some knowledge, that's going to be more beneficial
to you because, you know, knowledge and the scales of, you
know, the is knowledge is, you know, much greater than just, you
know, worship, right. And so that there's that trick of shaytaan.
And so I wanted to just actually read
I'll summarize it but I wanted to go through a little paragraph in a
moment no, always advocate with the Quran read it.
So he mentioned the Sahaba, who used to recite the Quran and how
much they used to recite the Quran. So if it'll be the old
related from the righteous forebears, God Most High will be
well pleased with them that some of the some of the would finish
the Quran once every two months, or every month, once every 10
nights or every eight, most of them every seven nights, some
every six nights every five or every for many every three nights,
some every two nights, every day and night, twice every day and
night, twice each day and eight times each day, four by night and
four by day. So he gave us a list list of some of these people. So
every day so some of these and some of those are included the
recitation of the Quran everyday clear include with one bit of fun
aneema Daddy, so he didn't dread Mujahid the Shafi Rhodiola one
home three times per day. Those who completed the Quran three
times per day include Sudan Minister, the judge of Egypt on
warrior or the Allahu Anhu was the Khalifa Abu Bakr ibn Abi Dawood
related that he would complete the Quran three times each night and
Abu Bakr Al kindI relates in his book about the judges of Egypt
that he would complete the Quran four times in a night, eight times
in 24 hours. The righteous chef of Abdul Rahman a salami,
may God be pleased with him said I heard shake up with man and mother
baby say if another Catholic would complete the Quran four times by
day and four times by nights. So, you know, these are
you know, Sahaba of the saw the Sahaba of the prophets.
And these are also like, like, you know, just the body of Egypt.
Yeah, right. This isn't just a random worshiper, right? He was
reciting Quran obviously, the Skadi had much more to study than
you know, you got, you know, the US regular lay folk who go to a
weekend class and think we need to study much and you know, leave the
recitation of the Quran before we get to Alex's point. This just to
clarify, this is Abu Bakr Ibn evito. So which is not to be
confused with the Hadith scholar elderwood of Baghdad of way later,
yeah, Abu Bakar Nebrija was very early on in Mecca. And actually
one of the Quran mats of the that he had was that a woman was
sleeping one time, and she went woke up in the middle of the night
in Mecca. And she decided that she would pray a couple of hours, and
she prayed a couple of records, and then she slept again after
that. And then she saw a vision that night that a great wedding
procession was occurring in the home. I should even make around
the Kaaba. And that made sense from paradise. Were coming to
attend this great wedding. So she woke up thinking maybe someone's
gonna get married today, right? And right in her morning, as she
was waking up, she heard a great tumult and people yelling and sort
of crying, and she said, she went to the window. So she asked what
happened. And ladies told her, You didn't hear Elba could have been
who just passed away? That was him. So yeah, that's him. That's
who we just narrated from and
buckle up. And that would that wedding was his heavenly wedding
because now he's getting his reward like it was all like, all
right, he's getting his reward. And death is interpreted, right or
viewed, not interpreted, viewed or considered from the perspective of
the dire, the righteous person who dies, as his reward the day of his
reward. Alright, so that's actually how we view death. That
changes the way we live, if we view death as a day of your
climax. And unfortunately, in the West, we try to climax in this
life. But the problem is, if you climax in this life, and you don't
die the next day, there's nowhere else to go but down. Let's try to
pick too soon, too soon. There's nowhere else to go but down,
right? And, you know, when you go down, it's always a negative. So
our view is, you know, you work in this life you worship in this
life, you do good deeds in this life, and you earn your award the
day, that's why there's a hadith. Oh, Allah make the greatest of my
days, the last of the day, I beat you. In other words, the dad died.
Yeah. So what I was gonna say is, just by the numbers for people
that think that those numbers might be daunting. And they are
obviously for modern people, we can't do what the what many of us
have did eight items in one day, right?
But if you restart at the speed of our history, which is very slow,
you can do 35 however, in the time that it takes you to watch all the
seasons of arrival,
or the roll is like 358 hours.
It would take you you could
Why do you know that number? Because somebody recommended it,
and I was like, how long is this show? It's 358 hours? What are you
insane? So it's just 58 shows 358? Move? It's it's two hour movies?
172 episodes 59 episodes module? Look, I don't mean to hate on the
show or anything but half the show is the guy riding on a horse
festival.
You know, you're laughing because you know, it's true. You know,
what's crazy? All the all the selfies are so into that show? Are
they really? Yeah. And then like everybody's into it show, right?
And all these healthy people posting about how cool the show is
another excuse for the for the 100 was, I just I put up a status. I'm
like, you know, man has my
one hedge while this day and then air to go at night. I mean, it
shows, but how can you tell if he's been to that show? The show
is super Sufi. He's principled. I mean,
they make excuses for it. Well, he set up his love desktop because he
was Mujahid. Yeah.
And they don't actually have anyone in their history that they
can claim that. Well, even Samia,
is it fine? Where he is now? He was Salafi. Even Timmy will
repudiate modern day Salafi, even say me though, actually be fair.
And I have to have a discussion with some humbly scholars that he
actually parted with him buddies in the idea of discussing Kalam
period, whereas the nebula they say we abstain from the entire
discussion of metaphysics and Kalam and all that. Well, if it's
me, it says no, I'm entering the discussion. And I'm actually under
I don't believe I don't agree with the metaphysics of the shadow how
the shadow viewed the world right in the first place. Right. So
anyway, that's a whole nother discussion. But the idea that
there are Hemet, Hana Bella is different in the sense from the
followers of him and Tamia in that respect in entering that that
field on that I couldn't I want to it seems outrageous for for us to
allow people who reject for a long time rejected by that have
although now they've come around finally, congratulations, and who
continue to reject so wolf in its pure form, to claim someone who is
a Madhavi. Sophie of the cover your order, like give me a break,
are you it's not acceptable. Like you guys agree with him on one
thing, and you probably misunderstood him on that? Well,
he's going on, it's okay, that you probably miss out. So going back
to the 350 hours of our throat, insane.
I mean, Eric's rule is one thing. And people spend ridiculous
amounts of time just on Twitter, most of Muslim Twitter to get off
of it and read some Quran. Well, to be practical, to be practical.
A man came to me apparent came to me the other day, and they said,
My son memorize Quran and he listened, but I can't get him to
stop listening to music. So I was like, Well, you know, we know the
rules or rulings on music. And she was like, yeah, he's into Bach and
Beethoven. I was like, you know, what, actually, we know the
rulings on music, but to be practical, if that's what he's
into, that's far less alarming, right? Then if he was into some
other things, but at the same time, so it's in the same time
there are rulings. And there are objective analyses, but there is
practicality, where
if you're going to have a teenager or even an adult watching, they're
going to watch Netflix anyway. You want them watching HBO and
watching Game of Thrones with all the * on it, of course.
So practically speaking, and you're always talking about
practicality. And of course, we're living in this life. So don't take
it from we're living in the sewer. But now next, just real Quran. We
got to have
Radiation radiation. And an electoral is a great step up. Oh
no. I'm saying it's I'm not I'm just hating on the show. No,
there's a there's a hate on every there's another thing there's one
thing about air to rule which
which it took me about a year to know that there's no G to be
pronounced. But if you look at all Osman the Arabic it's nine. Okay,
it's a pain in there, okay? It's silent or No, I mean, how's it
sounding again? They probably couldn't pronounce it so they just
say, anyway, listen, there's one thing about this that is
one thing about it that's bring something to the table that
nothing else does is the idea of Muslims exerting their willpower,
right? Here's a guy, he's not saying, Okay, let's just leave the
Seljuks to do their job. Let's just move over because the Mongols
are here. The Christians are there. Well, we got empires let
them do that. He's like, You're all fools. I'm doing this myself.
Right? And he goes out and he fights and he does this. Where
else have you? When was the last time you seen Muslims exerting
willpower? No, nothing. That stuff is great. I'm not. I'm not done.
I'm telling you, the interruption is a disaster. But listen, when I
saw that first episode, and I watched one, episode one season
one, there was one scene where they're fighting the Crusaders,
like an extreme group of Crusaders. And they're fighting
this in this palace. And they went, they defeated the Crusaders.
And see these you don't know what that is? I blurted out, I was
like, oh, that's what Muslims victory looks like. Never seen it.
Right? Never seen it. When we're going now five, six generations of
Muslims who have never ever seen the Muslims win a battle, a war, a
battle or war. Like we lose the war. Right? It's like we lose the
series. And we lost every game in the series. And we got shut out
and every game that's the reality and now our teammates are scoring
against us now. That's the only time Muslims win is when they're
fighting other Muslims. Ya know, and our and our rulers like UAE,
Kings of Saudi Arabia, MB MBZ. MBs. These guys, they're shooting
on the on goal. Yeah, they're not even. It's not even that they
stink. Okay, so you just pledged, like 100 million.
I mean, there's so they're openly shooting against us playing
against us now. So we're not. So we went from we lost the series.
Fine. You can lose a seven game series, close game, but you can
go, you can get swept in the series, we get shut out. Now. All
right. We don't even know who our teammates are. They're openly
against us. You can only be surprised by KSA given 100 billion
to India, if you've never paid attention to white Palestine is
still in that condition. Yeah, there's no such thing this game is
this is the same game that's been going on. Like the the Muslims
with the capability did not support the Palestinians ever.
You're gonna say so. I was gonna say, yeah. You know, one of my
favorite quotes from Shinola. How about music? Is that? What music
is instrumental music like that is the is just a pure distillation of
of the music of the composers. Nafs. Like you express it in a way
through music that you couldn't even express it in words, right?
You get a broader range of expression. And why would you open
up your nafs to the NAPS of a Caframo Wow, so that instrumental
music is probably worse. That just blew my mind. You might be better
off listening to pop music or rabbit that pop music is worse
knifes? Their satanic No, but they're not getting to. So that's
why I dropped. I don't think so. That's why it disappears in
waiting to noon. Did you ever hear dubstep? Timeout? I'm not I don't
know what that is, right? Is that like Irish folk music or
something? It's just instrumental but it's like you when you hear
it. You feel physically uncomfortable? No, but these
people who listen to pop music, they go astray in two seconds,
right? I mean, there's no comparison. When you listen to I
mean, you have you seen youth? Yeah. When they when they're
listening to pop music, they're going off the deep end real fast,
right? As opposed to someone who's listening to something classical,
right? I've never seen someone gold classical go into drugs into
Zina into blah, blah, blah, Instagram will. So let's let's
examine this on a societal level here without any actual numbers or
studies. Yeah. Who are we talking about? who's listening to the
better music right? The classical music. It's usually the very well
educated the water a lot. The people who are the foundation of
all the fitna in our society, the people who who support who go,
Well, we have we should have libraries and we should have in
our libraries, we should have like transexuals coming and reading to
the kids. Like that's not the youth listening to like
Britney Spears. That's the people who sit around in their you know,
oak libraries are listening to the great classical composers to be
able to have no morals. I don't know anyone except this one kid
who listens to so I wouldn't be able to save people from not in
the halls of power.
Yeah, and you know how they are? Yeah, big shit. That's a Sheltie
and of the intellect as opposed to shouting of the temptation. It's
but no, but they're also the shy team that are doing the big drugs.
They're the ones that are doing the tons of cocaine that gets
smuggled in. They're the ones that are having those wild part. It's
it's people. Epstein's crowd, Epstein's crowd.
So, that got real meta for me, but I'm just gonna what does that
mean? Well, you guys are taking saying words I don't understand
meta dubstep weird. Am I meta meaning grand? Meta, meaning he,
it's big, self referential.
Never heard this before. Never heard this. But when you go home
today, Google dubstep.
Google meta, meta, meta meanings fit, like beyond preferential
right? Now. But Matt is supposed to be beyond like metaphysics
beyond his explanation of the classical music was too bad for
me. Do we have a topic for today? Yes, we do. Okay, let's see,
that's what I was gonna get back to is Google.
What I was gonna get back to is, you know, talking about the
importance of the Quran because one thing you mentioned, right,
that, that middle ground between, like, for example, watching how to
rule and, and, you know, people instead of, you know, watching
whatever else they may be watching, it's like, this brings
them sort of halfway, because you can't expect people to go, you
know, to not reciting Quran and, you know, I'm saying people in the
past used to recite it eight times a day. And doing it, I thought
that maybe this is an extreme example, but I only only kind of
gave that as a, to demonstrate that it it's one it's humanly
possible, right? And to, obviously, we're not going to be
like the sahaba. Right, they're obviously the Sahaba for a reason.
But I think you don't even need to look that far. Right? I guarantee
if you just go back one generation and your family, you know, you'll
find plenty of people who recited the Quran at length for for, you
know, extreme periods of time. I mean, unless you're convert or,
you know, you come from a different type of background, but
shaking my head, would you say that, but
for a lot of people, right? You can bring this example up. And,
and I've always wondered why this has happened, right? And I know,
you can say it's like, oh, you know, kids don't understand what
on and they're not given an explanation and et cetera, et
cetera, et cetera. But that's not the case with like, I know, I can
speak about my mother, for example, she doesn't understand
the Quran at all. Can I tell you one of the reasons why when
environments are clean, fitrah is intact. recitation of the Quran
feels good. Yeah, people recite because it feels great, right. And
if anytime that anyone has been in a pure environment, for example,
you fasted Ramadan by day 20, you've been very clean right? By
day 25, you start feeling like you're not just reciting by force,
there is a great sweetness to the recitation to the exposure to the
gorilla. And there was a time when, you know, not too long ago,
where environments were clean. The eyes were not as polluted ears
were not as polluted. Food was pure, a lot of purity. My income
was pure income was pure hearts were clean. So it responds better
to the revelation. And I think it's the society is there too,
right? I mean, nowadays, you walk into a store and you might have
you know, heard a song and that kind of that song sticks with even
as you walk out the door, I'm sure many people in the past even if
they were like Thies, sat around and thicker gatherings, just
coincidentally, and then they're, you know, they're they remember
the vicar Well, there's also that's what there was to do.
Right, right. It's just like a thing, right? And it wasn't even
like, oh, you know, this person is reciting Quran like, is this
normal? It's, I'm telling you, shakable BASET. He, he was
inspired to become a reciter because he would go to the local
coffee shop and he heard Sheikh Muhammad referred on the radio.
And how do you know this? This is old Egyptian school. So I loved
was it? Yeah. So he would walk every single day, like almost like
40 almost an hour, right? Just to go to the coffee shop to listen to
Sheikh Muhammad, on the radio or on the radio. Okay. And the reason
is because the society around you like let's say you were in India,
let's see you in Bangladesh or Egypt, there was a great reverence
for the Quran, even for just the recitation of it, right. You know,
you could criticize saying, Oh, those societies didn't teach kids
how to understand. But people like really loved reciting the Quran
and listening to it. Well, you come to the side of the country,
you come to the US. You got kids, I'm telling you, some of my
students in Sunday School
10 year old watching YouTube, right? And then he's quoting, oh,
you know why Einstein was so smart? Because I'm just like, what
did you get that? Right? And then, you know, he was watching YouTube.
So you get those types of kids who are watching YouTube, they're
listening to rap music, right from the age of like six onwards, well,
and you bring them to Quran school. Like it's not gonna affect
your heart. It's
to culture, it's a culture, everything's got to be a culture.
And that's why we need. What we don't need is we don't need a big
hero or a super achievers, but we need a thick middle class to
establish cultures in homes masajid schools if they go to a
Muslim school, afternoon and weekend schools if they go to
that, but it's got to be a culture and its norms. Right? So the idea
of reciting Quran, that means someone walks in on you and you're
reciting Quran. Now tell me even in a Muslim home, right? If you
were to go in a middle class Muslim, maybe British maybe
Australian home, and the man is sitting reciting Quran or his wife
is sitting reciting Quran, right? There might be a take, like, is
there is this the time for a bad and we're about to have dinner?
Right? There's stuff to do the kids have homework, there's stuff.
Is this a time for this? But now, flip it. The guys on his
treadmill. Right now. It's different. It's like, okay, I'm
good. He's taking care of his body he's got
right. So there are social norms, society's made us may normalize,
taking care of our body, right. Think of the hours that Americans
put in. I don't know about other cultures if this is in Australia,
but fitness culture is a craze in the world right now. Right? I
think it's a pretty much a good thing. But But compare it to
recitation or a Betta. It's very similar, right. But except that
one is seen one is a visible thing. And one's an invisible
thing, right? One is something where we could see the results
right away, and we liked the results. And we encourage it. And
there's a lot of institutions encouraging. Now, recitation of
Quran, it's more subtle, right? The improvement of the individual
will be seen, but it's a lot more subtle. And it's his character,
not his body. Yeah, but also, there are some for the people that
go all these people that are reciting, without understanding.
They're just, you know, there's some spiritual benefit, and maybe
in the next life, but there's so much more like a household where
people recite Quran on a regular basis, even if they're doing his
which is like a quarter of a joke, right? Every day, there's going to
be less sitting in that house, you're just not going to be a
sinful person. You're not, you just won't go You won't go to bed,
if you're not in Go. So because you're going to recycle rom before
you go to bed, like simple things that are practical, material
realistic, and they have a known quantifiable effect in this life.
So there's no argument to be made unnecessarily besides that, yeah,
more people should learn to understand it. I think another
thing that that gets to people in modern times is there is no
because of the infinite nature of the Quran, because it never really
ends. There is no like endpoint, right? Where there's like, an
accomplished task of you know, I've done this and I've completed
it, for example, the Salah, you know, people pray this setup,
because it's like, okay, this is a thing that you need to get done in
the day. And it's part of this checklist, and it's, it makes you
more productive, like, Oh, I'm a productive individual, everyone
read all my setup, right? Or it's like, the Quran, whereas right,
you know, just reading for hours and hours and hours, because of
the infinite nature of it. It doesn't fit in with his modern
paradigm of, you know, productivity. Well, the Sahaba did
have a concept of ODOT. His right, so even the province I sent him
said, if you miss your his, then you can recite it before the hood,
it'll count for the previous day. So the word of Quran, it was
either, you know, portion, whatever, you know, the Joe's and
his apps are 30. Joe's, each test is divided into his 60 hubs. This
came later, this edge that came later, but why did they make it
into 30? Just to match the month, right? Because it's the Sahaba the
Prophet size, Adam has the Hadith recite the Quran anima. Right. So
that's a hadith. That's why we have 30 evenly demarcated edges.
So this concept of if we need a goal, the goal would be a month,
but some people could not do a month. So they would do two
months. So that's where the hiccups came in, so that you can
read his day and his bad day, if you read Arabic, will take you
2015, not even 10 minutes, right? It'll literally take you 10
minutes, you know the amount of ads that you'll watch on YouTube.
That won't allow you to skip, right, you almost can't skip 12
seconds or something or five seconds, you probably spend more
time watching grammerly adds that
if you listen to a one hour podcast, per week,
that's the equivalent of
1010 minute sessions of
hour and a half, whatever, 90 minutes, hours, whatever our
podcasts are, most people that's great advice for somebody who
knows how to read the Quran. And it's not a lot of effort for them
to read the Arabic right. Most people what happens is, you know,
when you're trying to learn a new language, and you don't, you
can't, you're stuttering all the time. So when you're reading it,
you get exhausted because you're constantly fixing yourself, you're
stuttering, you're doing this and that and so you feel frustrated
about it. And most people their level of Koran reading is at that
level. And the problem with that is
They think that improvement is going to take so much of their
time, they should still do the 10 minutes a day, they should still
do the 10 minutes a day. And I'm telling you, we get some like,
yeah, half a page from personal experience. The only way you can
improve your reading of the Quran is consistency. If you recite
consistent consistently, if you're reciting two pages a day
consistently, like snozzberries, that what is it? The only way to
record is to record that I'm telling you to improve it, right.
That will prove it but people are, you know, they for some reason,
they don't want to put in that work. I haven't one of my uncle's.
So he recites a Joseph Quran every day in the morning in the
transliteration in Hindi, because he can't read Arabic, right. So he
will have the Arabic on the side and try to glance at it whenever
he can. But he will recite the entire joke every single day has
been doing it for less 29 years. Right? In transliteration, I spent
a lot of time with a transliteration of Josiah. So I
mean, for you, I know that this is it's an excuse. But really, like
you say it's like, oh, I can't read the Arabic I can't
understand. There's people who read it in translation and
transliteration and still managed to do it right. The only thing I'm
gonna say is that the real answer to all this is that people are
lazy. And there's no other answer to where people are just lazy. I
have a different answer, right?
Well listen there to give people a piece of practical advice, one of
the best ways to learn to speed up your recitation and to avoid what
you're saying is that frustration one is okay, let's say you know
your Arabic letters, right? You know what they look like, you know
that too skewed. So you pick one surah, let's say sudents, l
Bayona. Okay. And you just listen to it over and over and over and
over and over b. And there was a point in time when I was in
teaching at Trinity in Hartford, so in all these places, and I and
the iPod, Nanos, had just come out, right? Maybe they came up
before and I wasn't up to date, right? But they got me an iPod
Nano, right? And I put a Quran on it, I would actually keep it in my
ear. Right, I would keep the earbuds in my ear, and I keep it
on loop. And I would lock it the entire day, even teaching the
class, because I felt that there's so much ruffler right, there was
so much heedlessness and darkness that I need to counterbalance it.
So I would have the whole juice. I'm telling you while I'm in
office hours while teaching. The only time I removed it is I've had
to go to the bathroom. But the idea is listen to the same Surah
then open the Quran and recite it you'll see you'll have memorized
this is a good point. And I'm sorry to interject, but it's the
so our brother Harun posted it wrote an article about studying in
Egypt. And one of the things he said is prepping yourself is
listening to Quran at work when you're in America before you start
going. Spend as much time with the Quran as you can, just playing it
on a loop while you're at work in your headphones. What you're
exactly what you're saying. And some people had a question and
they were like, isn't that impermissible? Like you're not
you're ignoring it. You're the Quran is playing in the
background, you're not actually paying attention to it. So there
are circumstances in which that's permissible. Recommended. Yes. And
actually, I thought about that, too. But I thought to myself that,
you know, this is actually like, almost like, I felt it was a dire
state almost right. Like, I need to have this in my ears at all
times. And okay, maybe if I had put off God, it would remove
myself from that. How much if I put off God, but honestly, I would
honestly really believe by the end of the day, I would feel polished
off and I would literally fall asleep like a baby. And when
you're on your hearts polished off you fall asleep like a baby.
Right? And just to finish this topic. That's, that's a modern,
this is a pretty heavy ruling, right? Because unless you were a
king or something, it's not like you could command reciters back in
the days and be like, recite in the back. That's true. So like,
this is just an audio. It's a modern technology thing. There's
another thing too, I would sleep with it. And this is not good,
because well now you have the air pods, but it's sometimes it gets
wrapped up around your neck. So you should not do this. But I used
to do it. I used to put the iPad under my bed, right under my
pillow. I mean, and I would listen to it
through the night. I'm not getting through the night and you would
have amazing dreams sometimes. Right? You would literally have
amazement, and I'm telling you there's something else that
sometimes the the earpiece would fall off, but you don't know fell
off. You still hear someone reciting to you in your dream you
wake up the earpiece is way off. And that's because it's like
Malayaka took over the recitation and someone wants to ask what what
is it when someone hears the gorilla in a dream some and I
heard the response was melodica reciting to the person right? So
so I'm telling you this was if you do this on a regular basis, and
those are my best days, living in the absolute death trap rat hole
of Meriden, Connecticut and that's how I made it Oh, if you're if you
do this method of falling asleep with the Quran or with eschar and
you're not having you're having like bad dreams or some
thing, this is good, keep going. Because what what know what, uh,
what I was told is that your heart is like anything else, right? It
has, it's dirty, it's Rusty, it's covered up, right? And you're not,
it's like a vessel that has mud in it right, you start pouring the
water in, you're not going to pour a glass of water, you're gonna
pour a shot of water into the glass and all of a sudden, it's
clean, it's still dirt. Eventually, that dirt will become
mud in the middle, start getting lighter and lighter and lighter,
until what's out flowing out of it. It's just pure water, but you
have to keep pouring that water in, or else you're just going to
keep having dirt. So keep at it, and eventually you'll have the
good dreams. And this is the same type of phenomenon. This probably
sounds a bit esoteric, but like, you know, if you start doing Vica,
for the first time ever, exactly the same thing, you'll you'll sort
of have like a constriction on your heart or you're starting to
feel really weird. It's like, oh, I should stop, you know, why am I
feeling weird? You know, it's I'm not feeling good. And then it's,
it's because of this rust being removed, you know, and anybody who
has actually started doing Vica knows exactly what I'm talking.
Yeah. There's that famous line of poetry for Shafi, right, where his
teacher says, Indeed, the knowledge of knowledge from ALLAH
is light and light doesn't go to the center. That was from his
teacher work. Yeah, yeah.
And, and the thing is sorry to cut you off. The thing is, by the way,
did you I read an article that you studied Arabic like later on in
life, right? Sure. Well, I was raised, speaking colloquial
Arabic. But I studied the grammar and learned the grammar. In my
late teens, I guarantee you all that listening to Quran is what
made it like so easy. Oh, I'm telling you, and and just
reciting. So I would, I would say I pretty much without effort just
by reading like any Muslim youth have picked up a decent vocab word
decent amount. And also you picked up what Adelphia is the idea of
the Uddhav you don't know what it's called. But you also know
that noun and adjectives have to match in everything in their Flm
or not in their test kit, etc, etc. And I'm trying to give talks
about this grammar is actually an aid to human being. So when you
learn a language, you learn the grammar without knowing the rules.
Yeah. And there's so many people today that they're very passionate
about learning Arabic, right? Because they realize, see one of
the one I disagree with Alex here, I think one of the reasons people
don't want to their distance away from the Quran is that there's
this culture of instant gratification, and they don't see
the Quran as something valuable enough to spend all their time
because there's a quote that I recently read the Quran is a
jealous book, right? Meaning when you want to put your time into it,
one of my friends told me you give all of yourself to the Quran, the
Quran gives a part of itself to you, right? And so, but there's a
lot of value in it right? And people don't understand that it's
the speech of Allah and you're connecting with Allah when you're
reading it. But one of the reasons people want to learn Arabic, they
want to connect with Allah, they want to understand what Allah
saying, but they go to Arabic class. And by the second third
week, everybody's gone. It takes effort. And most of the effort
most of the problem is because they can't read, right? They're
struggling through Arabic texts, right? Like even with the skill,
and the reason for that is they're not reading Quran. So like, it all
goes back to the Quran, like you want to learn Arabic, show me that
you could put in the discipline by reading Quran, right? So what
you're pointing is a great point, which is that liturgical worship
which is worship from from books, prayer books, whether it's the
it's the Quran is going to be of God of the morning in the evening
that makes your I always look at that absolute letter those letters
and I'm telling you, I remember ODOT people who are saying, Oh,
God, and I'm talking like people who maybe converts or otherwise
that were they weren't acknowledged folk. Do you? Can you
they were lovers more had been like they're called mo had been
right. They love the good. But then they kept Oh rods, they
actually learned Arabic, not Arabic guys in grammar, but they
could read letter word signs, the book titles, right, from what
reading the width of the morning and the width of the evening,
right? So that Oh, Roz and liturgical like you're saying is
really powerful. Yeah, and that's why one of the big things with
this Arabic movement among American Muslims, you know, learn
Quranic Arabic, right? But what they never tell you is you have to
first read the Quran, you have to first read it every single day, if
you really want to actually start learning Arabic and reading
things. If you can't read the Quran every single day, how are
you going to get through a request? It's not possible. And
that's, that's actually the thing I find the most interesting is
that there is this huge movement to you know, learn to read Arabic
so that I can learn to understand the Quran that's beautiful, masha
Allah and I hope it grows and continues. But I find it even more
interesting that actually less people read the Quran now because
I don't know if it's a there's a correlation between this or not,
but I honestly think the it all goes back to Steve Jobs. He really
did a number on all of us
with the iPhone. I mean, think about this. I mean, of course, you
got to do your best in whatever field you are, and he did his
best. And he did an amazing job, but he knew what he was doing
because he didn't let
his kids use it. Yeah, that's true. And I remember myself, I
would listen on the bus. I would do all in England. I would do all
my recitation on the bus going to school. Was it 1520 minute ride?
Seven minutes at the bus stop. It's 22 minutes, right? It's going
to be 22 minutes, right?
however way you cut it, you recite at the bus at the bus stop and on
the bus, right? You finish your recitation. You come on the way
back, there's a little bit of traffic, you finish the
recitation, you fall asleep. You arrive home. You refreshed, right,
you done your recitation, you're falling asleep. You're in a good
mood. Now, fast forward, right. Everyone's on the phone the entire
time and the phone also deprived sleep because it keeps your brain
racing but not moving. Right? So I remember some people saying Oh,
but man, if I'm gonna pull up Khurana I was like, people are
gonna look at me he's like, What do you care? Who cares? What do
you need us we're gonna look at huh? Angels are gonna Yeah, I
remember a brother sent me it's gonna isn't it weird to pull out
the Quran in front of you? Why What do you care? What do you do?
You never gonna see these strangers again. I don't like
we're talking amongst people who are you know, coming in heels.
guys coming in heels and stuff like that? Don't care. These are
the same people you'll find people making out on the bus and they
don't care. Yeah, I were reading the words. Right. I work in I work
in I work in the at the judiciary in a government office. And on my
bookshelf, I keep a Quran. Like on my bookshelf visibly, right where
people and it says the Koran.
So like, what are you worried about on the bus strangers? These
are the this is in front of like, I'm only Muslim in that building.
And this is in front of like, you know, people that are in a
conservative part of the state and, and there's nothing to worry
about. And it's my employer. Why are you worried about it? Come on.
And what do you kill a stranger? Think of you strangers? You'll
never see them again.
Do you what else do you have from this book because I have something
if you're done with that, but but give me you'd have anything else
in that while you're looking through there. I would just yeah,
when I do to go to sleep nowadays is
start with soda that I've memorized and translate it back
translated from Arabic to I was doing to English but it was
getting too easy. So I was doing it to Spanish. And I'm done in
like four is to model form from laying my head and build the form.
Because you're you're you're like you're actually relaxing your mind
even though you're really working it Yeah, you're doing something
difficult with your mind, but it just completely relaxed. I fall
asleep to Quran every day. But my own recitation of mine and the the
one of the best ways to fall asleep is reading anything. Number
one, especially stories of the Olia or anything good of a slump
with a mention of Allah in it. Because reading in general, the
page puts you to sleep number one, I don't know you'll doze off into
a nice sleep. If you're reading something good. Obviously, that's
better if it is good, meaning it has the name of Allah and it
read or giving testimonia of everything you know, right? Like,
let's say, you know, just Amma recited
in Mauritania, there was a man who took a bus trip, his job was
taking a bus trip from New York shots, to the tents of Morabito
hutch, and the bus driver six hour trip, the bus driver was reciting
Quran the entire time.
Because and thinking about this, the absence of stuff there, the
radio, you think the radio works.
There's no radio, there's no cell phone, right? There's no
distraction. So but the absence of these things can be a blessing.
Because what else you have to do is to recite the Quran, like lit,
if you cut them everyday just at his job, he was probably doing a
costume or two a day just driving the bus back and forth. And and if
anyone who has done memorization, if you're in the sometimes you're
on memorization, sometimes you're off it. But anytime you're on it,
and you can recite three jobs, two jobs one job at a time, it really
changes your heart, you're the state of an art, and we're not,
we're sort of, I wanna I want to say that we should be sort of a
type of movement in a sense. But it's not a movement that has a
specific end in sight, except to transform our generation to make
it a strong generation. Which we have habits, right habits like,
and this should be one of our habits, and it should be our habit
till we die, and we should transmit it to our kids and to our
friends and to our neighbors and to community members. Right? We
should be someone who has used it. And this is what I'm saying about
willpower. Many people misunderstood some posts I made
the other day about revolutions, right? It's just about using,
you're making a difference in whatsoever way that you can and
persisting. And one of the biggest difference we should make is
returning ourselves and our friends and communities masajid
back to the book of Allah, right. You know, there's nothing better
than a messenger that has a kid's Quran program. You go in there and
you hear all this these honeybees, right. Their kids memorize the
Quran and reciting their honeybees in the masjid. This is a blessed
community right? You know in to start
hitting them with sticks.
Yeah, and one of the things, you know, you mentioned they're
talking about sticks is the the teacher of the Quran has to be
soft and
very good to the students. Because when somebody's learning the
Quran, especially if they're a little kid, if they get to see one
of the biggest problems is people get traumatized with the Quran
when they're young. That's right, it's bad, it's really bad. And the
thing is that you're doing so much harm because you're actually
traumatizing a person from the speech of Allah subhanaw taala
that will actually help them later in their life. There is there's a
give and take. There's pros and cons and that I've heard many,
many, many, many
adults say, I would have never memorize anything if my parents
had pushed me. So there is a part of that, that there is there is a
push needed to write Of course, I mean, every doctor in the world,
their parent pushed them in school, no one was self motivated
to go to eighth grade, right.
So there is an element for you know, to be fair about that. But
it should there should be a limit. It really has to be it has to be
and how do you limit it by balancing it out? I mean, there's
there's obviously a difference between discipline and roughness,
right? Yeah, obviously have to be disciplined. But that doesn't mean
you you know, you traumatize children, wherever. I mean, there
was a video recently of this, this, I don't want to mention the
group, but you probably know
this person, like hitting this kid with like, a like a pipe. Right?
This is real.
It's real funny, but it's fun. Is it acting on memory TV? It's like
real. And to me, I'm just like, you know, the Quran shouldn't be
like the main event, right? It should be like, you know, how
everybody you know, there's somebody famous or some something
very, very popular, right? And everybody goes to it. The Quran
should be like that. I mean, I was reading.
Ingrid Madson spoke on the story of the Quran. And she was talking
about how back in the day people would celebrate when people would
become prophets. Yeah. So there was the story in Mecca, that this
traveler, and then he saw that, oh, everybody's like throwing a
party in Mecca. And then he went towards this crowd with like,
1000s and 1000s of people. And then there was the stage. And then
on top of the stage, were these children. And then one of the one
of the child, he was giving a talk, right? And then he realized
that oh, this is an entire celebration of the entire city,
because there are fourth national law. So like the Quran should be
our main event. Yeah, it should be something that people get excited
for. And just to give you a hadith, the prophet Psalm says
that the difference between Allah speech and regular speech is like
the difference between Allah and His creation. Subhan Allah and
yeah, and they're, you finish. Yeah, I mean, I was gonna mention
one more where Allah says,
the problem says, Allah has family from among creation. Yeah. And
the, the people of Quran are the Select family of Allah Quran
to so if this isn't motivation, I don't know what Well, that's the
idea behind the Bismillah and the Amina and I also think like, the
Arabs always have a different view because we don't have anything
called bismullah party and I mean party, and they always have a
smart aleck thing is like, what's the party about? Oh, he's going to
open up and start reciting Quran or what's the mean about how
memorize the Quran? No, he finished the recitation of the
Quran. And the Arabs always make some comments like, that's a big
deal. But it is a big, that's a great event. Those events are
wonderful. It's firstly, you're gathering the people for food you
gather the community. Secondly, you elevate in the other side of
other kids the Quran right? Now, I've heard a lot of people who,
Arabs, native born, who don't recite Quran correctly. So yeah,
this could finish the Quran with Tajweed. So have you ever done
that in your life? Your kids probably have it. Speaking of the
culture of teachers, like you said, it is the highly recommended
and it's the culture of Quran memorized, especially in Egypt.
Very soft. However, the 10th we teacher when you grow up and
you're mature, and you're ready to hear it and learn the rules of
Tajweed they are strict right? Touch we teachers, men, we had a
Syrian lady she's teaching says read in the masjid. Oh my gosh,
I'm cringing at what she's saying. Right? What is this? zali what is
zali?
She's going off on these poor aunties that are like six years
old that she's trying to bend her tongue and move her mouth. That's
what works. But meanwhile, she's probably like, either Yeah.
That's an excellent, I have something that I prepared here. We
ready for this? Okay. Another aspect of the Quran illegible
Quran, right? Seeking cures using certain verses of the Quran. Now,
some people say that, you know, is this really true? Well, the answer
is that Allah says in the Quran when Nunes Zulu mineral Quran
Maharshi felt one
actually moving in. So this says we reveal from the Quran, what is
a medicine as a cure and a mercy to the believers. So in this type
this is it doesn't say all of the Quran is a Shiva. Right? It says
some of the Quran this is called Min littlebyte, you know, minutes
away, not, right? It's men for the purpose of the part, right? The
word men is for the part means from it, not all of it from it. So
that means they're not why would Allah tell us there are some
verses of the Quran for healing? Right? Not others, and then keep
it a mystery? No, he's he told us this and the automa have we done
it she had on which ads? And sometimes it's very clear, and
sometimes it's not. Okay. But the idea that's the first evidence,
this idea by itself is enough of an evidence. The other evidence is
that some Sahaba use their own itchy head. And of course, we know
that shadow tab is going to be accepted to cure certain things
such as snake bites, right? So not only the Quran they used, but they
used any fluid that was associated with that recitation. So for
example, one tribe one time the Muslims were out Sahaba were out,
and they came upon an unbelieving tribe. And they said, let us stay
with us. We're on a long journey. And it was getting dark. And it
was like a storm. It was about to come. And this tribe said, No, we
don't want Muslims here. So leave, so they left. And we'll say that
hoody Rajala Hassan was in that group. And he,
they left, so they went to sleep at the edge of a mountain. Now, a
little some while later, a man came running. And he said, we
heard that amongst you, as someone who knows Autopia healing, and
back then they don't have a lot of medicine. So they're looking for
anything, that our chief has just been bitten by a scorpion. So he
ran back, I was told that he ran back, okay, and he held his the
man's leg where he was bit by Scorpion, and he would recite
Surah Fatiha and spit on the man's the wound, recite sort of spit on
the moon. So if I just went ahead, and eventually the man, the pain
went away, and the effect one way, right. Now listen to this part. So
the man said, Thank you. He said, Where's my fee?
Right. So there are so many things in this right? They the fee was we
spent he said, What's What do you want? Now that you've done this
for me? I have to give you something right? He said, We want
to spend the night and we want cheap. Right? So we can eat it
later on? He agreed. They weren't the Sahaba were split that were
with him. We're splitting Should we eat from this? Never heard of
anyone reciting doing what you did. And taking money off of it.
Right? They went back to the prophets I send them they said, I
will say to her that he did this, this and this. And then he asked
for money for it. Right? So the prophets I said, smiled. And he
said call me outside right?
So he said a brought him in front of everyone he said and what Who
told you that fetch? How was the rakia? Like where do you get this
knowledge from? I didn't ever said fat tails. Right. He said a rule a
rule rule AFC NFC, which means it was inspired in myself that Facha
is so valuable, it must be a rookie. And it was from his own
self that the saliva in his mouth when he resuscitate recited it was
blessed. So that's item number two. No, I don't remember what he
had of certain fats. You had that? It's okay. Item number two, the
fluid around it. Right. Is it okay, which is the slime in his
mouth? spill a little bit? Yeah. A little like pouring spit out the
guy's leg? No, it's little spit. People need to hear this. Yeah,
they need the details. Yeah, a little bit of saliva. Right.
Number three, took took a wage for it. And then they said Oh, Mr.
Avila, he took a wage. He said you took a wage? He said yes. I said
what was the wage? He said they spent the night and they give us a
sheep. And I said, and he said, What would you do with that sheep?
He said we cooked it because I think give me some of them.
To show everyone that what he did was okay. He the Prophet himself
ate from that meat. Okay, so that's the first piece of evidence
now one of the most beautiful
sources of healing is from hardship in general. And this is
says, Why am seska Allah Who below Fela cash if Allahu Allah Who?
This part of the verse, right? It states it's from Sudha Tunis, and
it's the a number 107 which says, if Allah touches you with harm,
there is no one who can alleviate it except him. And the egg goes on
to continuous as if He wills good. No one will return it except by
except him. No one can refuse it right. Now. Why is that second
part we read Can you read can be heard and Ferrara deliberately.
Why is that important? Some people fear being too blessed that I'm
going to get hesitated. Right. So the first half
If is a cure for someone who feels afflicted by trials and hardships,
to remember number one, this trial in hardship is not from a force
outside of Allah. This is so important because where does the
where? How does shaytaan destroy addicts? He destroys the addict by
making the addict believe even your God can't fix this, right
that this drug is so powerful your God can addiction is so bad, your
God can't even overpower. So in this area, it's reminding you,
even your affliction is from Allah Tala. Now, there's two parts of
this. You shouldn't think about afflictions as being from ALLAH,
if it's going to affect your Eman in the sense that if, let's say
some man's daughter, I don't want to say something really bad. But
let's say, you know, some some man's daughter fell and hit her
head. Or a woman's daughter fell or Hedra is like really bad thing
for a woman because you know, they really want to make sure their
daughters are pretty and stuff. Right? Now she's got a scar on her
face. Her husband's not supposed to say everyone, Allah did this.
That's wrong, right? You're not supposed to do that. Because you
create a suit oven. Bad opinion of Allah right. Now, however, if
you're an addict, and you feel that your sin and your hardship or
you're oppressed, and you feel that your oppressor is so great,
you start feeling hopeless, it's years and years go by, then you
have to remember even this oppressors from Allah so that you
don't fall into hopelessness. So this everyone should know it but
he himself a little bit older fella Kashi fellow Allah Who
there's no one's going to alleviate it, but him Now why does
that part important so that if anyone thinks that there is an
outlet, through disobedience through some through the Haram,
like they're like we can get rid of this oppressor by siding with
these people? Well, that's how if that's if that's haram, it's not
gonna work. There's no one who will alleviate it. But Allah means
as well, you can only use the methodology applied by Allah.
Right? You can't do access God's Baraka without ye disobeying him.
Okay, so that's a good one. Now, the next one, if you're afraid,
some people afraid, too much good is happening. I don't deserve
this, right? And I might get hassled, blah, blah, blah, you
recite the second part of it? Well, you did get hired in Florida
definitely. Right? If Allah truly was good, and you're worried about
someone else either has it, or they're going to steal it from
you, or they're going to something else you should receive read this,
because it means that no one will take it away from you. No one can
take it away from you, if Allah wills it for you. Yeah, just a
question, you know, that some of the listeners might have, you
know, is there like a certain number of times you would read
these like, Look, is there a certain time? How would you even
read it as you would just keep reading it eruption for good
question, you would just keep reciting it until the matter is
complete. Right? And you would recite it in the prayer. In
outside the prayer as your as your surah. In the prayer, right? You
would recite it at all times. And it depends on like, how, what kind
of personality you have. And this is one of the things that I felt
like, we got to become people of persistence. And demanding. We got
to, we got to be pushy, right? In what we want. Because this is a
this is an attribute in general society that's waiting, right?
People give up way too easily. People have a type of entitlement
that there should be an app for everything, right? Well, I'm not
even joking with you guys. The other day, I was watering the
plants that MBSE. Right. got like six plants.
Right? I'm not even joking with you, a guy who was one of these it
guys. He said, What are you doing? I said, I'm watering the plants.
Because there's an app. I was like stuff, right? He literally wanted
to tell me there's an app you buy it for you download it for free,
you pay them a buck, they send you these chips, you put the chip in
the soil, and it sends a signal to the app when it's dry. I had like
a releases water or something. I have no idea you did chip, you put
it in the soil, right? And then when the chip gets dry, it
releases a signal to the app to your phone. I was like, What about
I have something else called eyes.
You forget about this methodology, the same method, I'm going to look
at my app to tell me straight I could look at the soil and know
that it's dry, right? So but addiction to apps is absurd. It's
because of the space cadet in American youth man. Space Cadets.
They walk by the plant like it's turning yellow.
I don't even know what to do about it.
I'm gonna come back to that tangent after this is all done. So
I'm I have I have a 15 minute tidbit afterwards. Well, let's
hear it. No, no, you finish this. Okay, more important.
Okay, if something good comes your way and you miss it. Wow. Finally
the air conditioner. That was really thank you. But I was really
I was warm. So I needed to turn the AC on. If something happens,
that was good. And it missed and you miss it, like you miss out on
it. Right? Or something really bad. So
really bad happens and you're sad about it. This idea is for you and
that a swimsuit it'll Hadid. Alright, 22 a 23 Leakey, Allah so
Allah mathematical so that you shall never be sad about what you
miss out on. So no one should have fear of missing out. Lee K let's
so Allah my vertical. Well, let's have Raho be my attacker, you know
some people when good things happen they get so silly, so
giddy, right? When I was young if it was game day, that's the best
day of the week, right? I was so silly, right? And then my parents
would have to calm me down a little bit. Or something bad would
happen, right? Like a bad thing would happen with a friend or
something. I'd be down for days. There's actually a reason why
siblings are important. Only child. If you're an only child.
It's an I was an only child. My sister was 10 years older. But
it's lovely. Yeah. Because she was off at college when I was in 1988.
Her graduate high school in 1980. I mean, you're 10 She's a 20 year
old adult. Yeah.
So but so when a good thing happens, there's, there's no need
to balance it ever. Whereas when you have siblings, if there's a
good thing happened, but your other sibling had a bad thing
happened. You have to temper your happiness. You can't be so happy
when he said Right. Or vice versa. Right. Makes sense. And siblings.
Yeah. And the opposite is really bad things happen. You have your
siblings to get you out of it. With clothes. Same with close knit
family. Yeah, close knit family. There's too much. It's almost the
idea of multiple nails, stepping on many nails, right? Instead of
stepping on one nail. So it's actually easier to raise a crowd
of kids that one kid? Absolutely. Because you can say you're all
idiots.
Nobody gets affected by it. You all acted like fools and nobody
whereas if you say you acted like a fool that's and he has got to go
to his room with that. Whereas you all acted like fools right there
like at least with real together about it. Right? And then they go
upstairs and they talk about something else. Right? So it's
easier to teach a crowd not not to call them idiots but sometimes
full. Sophie, as in the Quran, acting like a Sufi right? Your SAP
li Kala, so I'm afraid second monitor for the hobby match icon
will allow you Hibou would Lola her book or Martina Falco? Okay,
so that's one. You have some same way. Now keep it okay. Yeah to
shift. The aid of general cure are usually compiled at six yet. Okay.
Where are they? six eighths are considered at Yeshiva. And I'm not
gonna recite all six, but maybe we should put them up but you know,
maybe I will recite them. West. We let people pull over and take
notes. Yeah, pull over. Listen. Actually, you know what, I'm gonna
recite them in a row. Don't let anyone say anything. And then
people could clip them out. Right? Yeah. If somebody if somebody
wants to go ahead and do that. Yeah, he clipped them out. I just
bought a clip our podcasts on YouTube clips up all the time.
Yeah, they could do that. And also, I would allow him in a
shakedown regime where she saw Dora calm and Momineen where she
fed only Memphis to door Yeah, crew Jimbo, Tony has our album
telephone Alwan houfy He Shiva orderliness, well known as zero

Mara to follow as Finn pull holy leadin Amande who who don't watch

first one is suited to Toba 14 suited unis. 57 Surah to Natalie
69 Surah Al Israa ad to Surah to show Ara ad sudut facilite a 44.
So that's 123456 verses of Shiva and as a general practice, you see
in many of the books to recite this overwater blow in the water
and everyone in the family drinks from it you would recite it all at
once anyone would recite it no no, you would recite yes six at once,
just as I did, I will double administrate on that a gem
Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim where she will do recommend Momineen and
all the way down you read all six all at once. And whether you blow
on water and recite it or recited above the way that does it either
way, or no water at all just recite them right?

kursi dubara Cooley Salatin Matoba tin lamb Yeah, * let me a whole

this beautiful Hadith from even a Sunni Okay, and the Hadith before

wonderful is that? When you have just a lot every salon should have

last 10 So you should do both the first and last 10 Have some Yeah,
speaking about end times. There's the famous Hadith I can't quote it
literally where I think it's
safer who really along with a famine in Yemen where they fit
that Yemen who asked the process and the process I was talking
about how bad the fitness gonna be, like, clip Amina Lane kappa
time in a Leyland more than like the narc darkness so fit then
coming after an after and then for the failure man Rhodiola Han asks,
like what's the way out?
And the process says the Quran and I'm telling you that if a noci
said the exact same thing, he said no, she was speaking sidenote
Rahim Allah He was speaking in the 1920s. Right? And he said for the
future, the only way out for the Muslims is through the Quran.
Yeah, right. And I wanted to mention a interjected to mention a
story. Nursey gives an example of what it means to have a chronic
worldview. Like, what does a person who has a chronic worldview
look like? And what? What does a person who doesn't have one look
like? So he gives us amazing example. He says, imagine you're
there's a tunnel, and you see train tracks, right? And you knew
nothing about trains you let's say you know nothing about trains and
how they operate nothing. And you have a very tough guy, right? And
he knows nothing about trains. He's been living in the, you know,
jungle, if you have a very strong person, and then he hears the
train coming out of the train tracks. Right. And he's standing
right next to the tracks. What is he gonna think? It's like there's
a monster coming out of the tunnel. Yeah. And when it comes
when when the train comes out of the tunnel, he's gonna be like, he
just runs away, even though he's like, very tough, right? Now,
compare that with a child. Let's say he grew up in the city.
As the trains coming out of the tunnel, he's standing right next
to the tracks. And the train just passes by. And he's not scared.
Yeah. Right. And notice he says the difference is that the strong
person he thought that there was a monster coming out like monster
that's on the loose, that's not guided by anything. Right. But the
child he has complete conviction that the tracks and the person
driving the train is in full control of the train. Yeah. And he
says the the example of the child is like the example of the person
who has the Quran in their hearts, right? That the entire world,
everything around them, whether it's good whether it's bad, he
knows that somebody is driving the train. Yeah, right. And this This
gives and Nursey says this, this gives an unlimited confidence to
the Muslim big
As whether they're alive or whether they're dead. It's all
good for them. And one of the points is funny that Alex and I on
the way here we were talking about one of these monsters that people
view as a monster, which we shouldn't as Muslims view it as a
monster we should view it with has not been good opinion of Allah is
climate change. Now climate change is something viewed as a horrible
thing that we've done. Now, Allah does not punish a people, except
for some act of disobedience, for people to invent cars and to
invent all this things. Nobody did it with a mal intent, right?
Nobody did this mountain and climate change is the result okay.
And the melting of the solar icecaps is the consequences,
right. So, we should not view this that that, that this is a, we
should view that there may be a wisdom behind this now, one of the
wisdoms is you have 8 billion people on the earth, you're going
to need some more water, right? Those those polar icecaps are
actually like, the reservoirs, right? And we need to melt them
down for people. So we shouldn't near, okay, maybe some
coastal cities are going to be in trouble. But they're not going to
be trouble overnight. It's not going to be like the movie, like
in the movies that all of a sudden, it gets flooded, it's
going to happen slowly, right? And the idea that there's a global
warming discussion should indicate to people if you're living on the
coasts, and you're like a big company like Goldman Sachs, you
might want to think, well, we got a lot of money in these buildings,
we could move over. So there's plenty of time. It's not like a
shock, right. But the idea of melting of the solar icecaps is to
provide a polar what I say solar, polar icecaps, right? It's right,
more water for people, because you're going to have more water
more into the rivers into the lakes into the earth itself.
Right, coming up in wells, there is why don't we look at it from a
point of view of husband, right, like so the on the one side,
climate change is the great monster coming to us. On the other
side, it doesn't even exist. What about the middle? How about it
does exist, but it might not necessarily be, like, a punish,
like a monster. It's something that it has wisdom from a lot. You
want to hear my crazy theory? Okay, that's totally gonna laugh.
Is that possible? With
climate change? No.
Let's not. Let's look at some zombies. It could be you never
know. So the
so the there's a flag on the play absurdity. Repeat. Last comment.
So the most of the most of the places that are going to be
affected by climate change are actually Muslim countries. The if
you look at Bangladesh, Pakistan, you know, Turkey, for example,
explain wars, the Arabs know,
they count they live in the desert, so it doesn't matter. The
the, the Muslim countries are going to be affected by this
because of the sea level rise. And what I'm thinking is that all
these Muslims are going to lose their homes. And they're gonna go
somewhere. Right? So you gotta have like, you have the right now
you have the Syrian crisis right now with Germany, right? Where all
these Muslims are going to Germany. Yeah, right. You're gonna
have an even bigger crisis when these when this happens. And
you're gonna have Muslims flooding into all of these traditionally
non Well, I didn't mean that is fun, but flooding into all of
these non Muslim countries. So this is an opportunity for Assam
to actually you know, research okay, maybe you never know you're
gonna have like, you know, America gonna be tons of Muslims, Britain,
tons of money, but you but there will be the climate change will
affect others too. It might be a wash, right? It will. But I mean,
like Florida, you know, if us, Florida, loses Florida, right?
They're not losing like a big thing. Right. But Bangladesh is
gonna be like, completely. I'm sure we have some listeners in
Florida who would disagree. I mean, Florida is just made out of
like retirees and like, it doesn't have like,
don't open a nursing home. Okay. Obviously, it's a vacation spot,
right? It's a vacation. But Bangladesh, like half the country
is going to be gone. Really? Yeah. So half the country is going to be
gone, where all those people are going to go. One of the big
scientists, I forgot his name. He's like 100 years old right now.
He suggested that you actually do like forced deportation of
populations, right? Well, you take you take a large number of
populations from these countries and then you put them in like
safer places. So I'm telling you maybe yeah, he's living in lala
land I mean, it's I mean, it's theory is you know, theoretical
but unethical to it. You can just force it the thing is that these
things honestly, he just never know what's gonna happen. You
know, he there's no way to just to anyway, let's get back to this.
That's that but it was a good good comment there. Here's one that is
for. We got Yeah, I was just, I'm trying. I was looking at word in
the Hadith.
It hasn't
unpronounceable, still.
Leah Nica. Leah Nica. Okay. I know thank you for
And we have to also think the source, Amin Ilyas mashallah.com.
Salafi said
why do we have to go there? Most of them and that's it. Good
brother No I actually was thinking was on Twitter. Yeah, I was
thinking the other day, we need to also just revive the idea of being
Muslim. Why do we have to look at the issue? Malik has a comment
that's amazing. He said if a matter is clear, if the matter is
true, then it's clear and it has requires very little discussion.
And if a matter requires much speech, then there's some error in
it. And I don't like do not like to speak on many matters, right?
He didn't like to speak on matters where the truth was an absolutely
crystal clear Pseudotsuga class, men of color mannakkara suits a
Corolla. And if you notice that they actually call it they call
most students by the first.
If you did something very bad, very sinful. The recitation of
students could who allow 200 times in one day, right? Experience 50
years of sense. So say you woke up or you know, previous day you had
done some very bad since good recite students could who allow
200 times, okay, throughout the day doesn't have to be one time,
right in one sitting throughout the day.
It will expiate 50 years of sin to admit it. Okay, so that mean
suited to the colossal mean as being, of course suited to the
hulless. Any doubts anyone who has doubts about Hola? It's Leila
surah. To the class. All right, let's look at if you have an enemy
many wives used if they have the abusive husbands,
maybe husbands who have abusive wives, right. Has a Latina Carla,
homeowners in the nasaka Gemma hola conflictual. Rarely, there
are people who are set to them. Where Be careful as the people are
gathering against you. God who has when Allah when Mr. Wilkie they
said Allah sufficient for us and he's the best of ones to rely
upon. But God will be now met him and Allah who if they left the Get
out of the situation with the blessing of Allah and increase in
their state. Let me observe some soup and no harm had touched them.
Right? What kind of woman allow me to let me up system
will allow their father Adi and Allah is the One who gives great
bounty. So you come out not only unharmed not only you're gonna
come out of it, number one, you won't you won't kill you. Number
one, you won't be harmed you will be let me obsess on it and you
will be touched my arm. And number three, you're going to gain on top
of that. All right. So that's if you are sort of being pushed
around. Another one
is if someone who was struck by sadness, because of their own
actions, so it's one thing where the enemy is against us. Right
then you're like a victim and Allah is with you anyway. Right?
But what if it's your own action? Okay, so in this case, the vicar
for it is from with a noon if the hubba Magaldi been for one ln naka
de la Fernanda for Lumads, Allah in islands American economy, the
economy. First the Gemini Laguna genome and, okay, they're going to
do what we need. It's what it means is when Eunice la Salam was
in the darkness of the darkness of the darkness, which is the
darkness of the belly of the whale, and the darkness of the sea
and the darkness of the night. So is the belly of the whale than the
bottom of the sea and the darkness of the night. And so, he was said
he was extremely upset, okay, by his situation, but he wasn't like
oppressed. He took this action and this is the result of his own
action, which was that he left the city from doing data to it without
permission and nonprofits don't want to do that. Right? So he said
La ilaha illa Anta Subhanak in the content of vitamin so this is so
hate to spear and so far right there is no non worthy worship but
you glory be to you. I was from the oppressor suited MBM? Verse
87. This is the sadness, if someone's feeling sadness, and
some people feel sadness, right.
I really don't know what that feels like. Right.
But some people feel sad sometimes.
Sad. Yeah. So sadness is one of those things that if and
this is so wrong. Okay. Abraham says sadness. There are two types
of sadnesses there's a sadness that is really good, such as the
solemn attitude that comes upon a person when he's at a graveyard.
And he said the sentence is good, right? Because it's draws you
nearer to the Accra and it makes you move to be better. Then
there's the sadness of loss of dunya and loss of something right?
And he said that is purely from Shaytaan and you should fight it
as much as you can. And that sadness honestly, yeah, okay may
come upon someone as a test from Allah subhanaw taala. Of course,
we will all be sad. If you're if your best friend stabbed you in
the back. You're going to be sad, right? But even that sadness, man
knows
So it's going to come, it's going to be for a little bit, and all of
the dunya comes and goes, it's very hard to to handle this,
right? It's very hard to handle this. And the the, when you handle
something really sad, everything else becomes easy. That's from the
signs of in verily with hardship is ease. Right and with hardship
is more ease. So if you face something really sad, everything
else is much easier, like people whose parents divorced when they
were in their middle of their life. Right? Their middle of their
youth is extremely sad, but like nothing thereafter could be at
set. Right? You have the situation? Subhanallah, right.
Like what could be what could be more sad than that? Right? So I
was alright. Yeah.
Even at the time, yeah. Not only that, you sort of hardened to it,
right? It's like, very few. It's like, you see someone who said
like, you're sad, right? For what? What happens? You have cancer,
right?
So sadness is something mental, I'm telling you, it's mental, it
you can get yourself psyched yourself out of sadness. And I'm
telling you, there's some people who give up this generation, they
just give up to sadness. And they go down, they seek it, they seek
it, right. And they try to find ways where it have to be said, Oh,
this is, this is me. Yeah. And I'm being affected by it. And I think
some people react differently from you, and they fall into the
sadness, then they don't know any other state. They're actually
worried if they're not set, right. So they find reasons to be sad.
And I think that this sadness, it's really true. What it claims
said is it stops you from action, right? People can actually fall
into that perpetual state. And I'm not going to take this into a long
tangent, but that's what happens to a lot of people, they fall into
that sadness, and then they recite verses of Quran and still feel
sad. And it's like, I deserve this sadness, right? Because of my, my
sins or whatever I'm done. And you know, like, I deserve to be sad,
and I shouldn't be sad, sad Islam or emo ism. There's a lot of
Gothic. There's a lot of people like that. Well, sadness and
anxiety could be a punishment from Allah. For sins. It could be
right. However, that doesn't mean you just wallow in it. Yeah. You
stayed in a state of perpetual state of anxiety, right? So you
wanna you know, you have to use the words carefully, right? You
got to think of what words you use because that's what affects your
heart because you know, you have to get out of it. You have to make
your snap out of it. Right? You have to start with hamdulillah
start with 100 meaning don't just say meaning and and just like
pushing a rock or pushing a desk in its place or pushing a fridge
you're pushing the emotion out of you you literally I don't know how
to explain it it sounds very much West Coast like some kind of Guru
stuff but it's really true. It's really true you push the emotion
away from you, and you get afflicted by it but on afflict
yourself right. Alright, so
when you are hands up and there's nothing else you can do about a
situation you turn to suit it's a golfer a 44 What will fall we'll
do an MRI and Allah and Allah but you don't believe it. Now I have
turned this affair to Allah. A very little la Caesar are all the
servants all his slaves? Good. If you are.
Let's see what's next. Now we go to actual other things like at
least one of them. You guys are getting tired. I know. But we'll
finish. Okay.
At least one of them. Is small are them. Okay, it is in the it's cool
to see. And also it is in
the opening of early Emraan okay, what hola Camila Anwar hit La
ilaha illa Hua Rahman Rahim and an al Kursi.
Sorry, Imran and if la meme Allah Allah Allah Allahu Allah Europa,
you know they got this Yeah, and if lemme Hola Hola Hola. Hola.
Hola, Erica, you and Chrissy. Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola.
Hello.
Okay, so that's a Israel album. And the last Greatest Name Allah's
Greatest Name, right? And it has such a burqa. Now why is it
valuable when you make dua? Because the prophets I send them
linked and this will allow them to do so these two ideas, right to
recite it with your DUA because Allah says if he's asked by this
name, he doesn't reject the DUA. Now another one,
we're talking about sadness and grief. The solution for that is at
everything related manual globe. So the ultimate said literally it
says decree law. Any vicar of Allah will release anxiety but the
concentrated potion is actually the name of Allah.
Allah Allah. Yeah, and this is a decree that some people do not
like they say there's no evidence word as a practice, but it's
clearly right.
It said in a hadith, right? No PMO calm as long as there are people
saying Allah Allah, right. It says one thing, okay, what could Isma
Rebecca right Allah says in the Quran, make vicar by the name of
your Lord. Simple That's how simple it is right? So the name
Allah itself is a Shiva for for the matter of anxiety there are
prescribed like count of how know all of these liquors. Yeah, the
count is on
till you feel better, you have to keep pushing and people don't
realize that you actually need to do a lot of thinking in order to
feel better. All right, next one is headaches.
Headaches are big right?
Now they go to every or pain in general, then it gets a feel for
Mira become Rama, right? This is an easing of the burden, and a
mercy. This is from Susan Bacara, a 170. Vedic it's actually from
Arabic And Rama, they said is that she felt for you read aloud and
you have to thank them for her internal life. But the first part
of it, you were set up too low and you have to uncle, right, this is
from surah Nisa, a 28, another one and a half of Allahu uncom
as beautiful now Allah has alleviated for you, right? And
earn a cup of Allah calm. That's a little effort. And what's the book
that you're reciting from so we can just the book is very
specific. Why did you tell the peoples a book, I want them to
think of smart.
It's a book that I picked up in Egypt, written by a scholar that
he gathered these, right, it's just a fee have it'll get up in
the back? Like?
It's just it's like, wow, that's a blurb written in poetry. That
doesn't make any sense. Look at the back. Oh, it's a blurb written
in poetry. Yeah. But you know, you know what this type of book is
written by Sheikh and like the 50s. And the publisher be like,
you know, the publishing house and Clara, in Hussein Street by the
Green Door. Right. That's the type of publication it is, but those
are so blessed, these old publications from Egypt, right. So
you know, literally, in my PhD thesis, I have a footnote that I
literally wrote what the publisher said, which is, you know, Cairo
1969, all right, by the Green Door.
That's the location of the publication. All right, for your
eyes. fucka. Chef now uncover your PA aka for bizarre Okayama Hadid
suits. Cough 22. Okay. So this says fucka chef now, aka so we
lifted your your veil. Now your vision is now like iron. So for
people who have issues with their eyes, their eyesight is weak. Now,
you know that many people will be like, they're almost like,
atheist when it comes to believing that ads can cure physical
illnesses, like they like totally disbelieve it. I've seen it. Yeah,
it's because of an old do a whole whole topic on this, but it's
because of naturalistic naturalism. So there was there was
a shift in Indian chef that he was giving lads by Quran and a secular
Indian, came up to him Muslim and he said he was a physician. He
said, This is why we're backwards, right? And he said, you don't
think that the ABS can affect the body? He said, No, these are just
words. You need some chemicals to change to cure. He said, Okay, you
know what, I think that you're actually very ugly. So your mom
must have been very ugly. Your dad was ugly. And he's like, What?
Right and your shift saying this, this is how you respond. He said,
Well, hold on. Let me take your pulse now. Right. He's like, it
looks like your heart's beating a lot faster. Your faces a lot
better because it said You're ugly and your mom's ugly. So that's
just words. But it affected your heart. It affected your blood
pressure. It affected how you look right or wrong right. Okay next
because we need to finish
pain in general well Lahoma second Fe Layli we're not what was
simulium Okay, well who may 2 And in this is my second is what's
settled what became peaceful suits and we need one for coughs I was
about
okay for the throat here we go. Next chapter.
All right, for the
for the throat godless Allah Allahu Allah. He was salam. Okay,
this is a Hadith. Now insurable Eman by Imam will be happy. Okay.
All right, worth Allah imminent Aska Sahabi worth Allah Azza and
Nara Jhulan that a man Shaka LNB Salam, always he complained to the
Prophet peace be upon him the pain of his throat for God Allah Who
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Anika colossal Quran. So
whenever you get that reciting the Quran, when you get the throat
I had the throat so bad my first two years working in Del given the
hope every week given multiple classes and lecturing and
lecturing and stuff I had I was at Stone infections that were so bad
the first few years literally,
it's death. And I'll tell you why it's death for the secondary, not
just the pain, the pain was so bad throat infection. You can't eat or
drink when you can't eat and drink. You have no energy you
sleep. When you sleep so much. It hurts your eyes. Right? But you
have no energy, you oversleep right. It was like torture because
you can't stay awake. You have no energy to stay awake. You have to
eat or drink. Right and you can't eat or drink. But you keep falling
asleep but the sleep becomes a source of pain.
In for your eyes, right? That sickness knocked me out to two
weeks, two years in a row. I was really bad. It was so bad. It was
unbelievable. I remember that. You remember when I had those? And the
doctor said, were a handkerchief around your neck.
So I started I was like, where am I gonna get that? So I took a clot
that we had a rip did that where you started? Yeah, I thought,
well, if you notice if you notice, I haven't worn it for like years.
I haven't gotten my sickness. I was gonna ask you I just button up
my shirt. Why just buttoned it up? Yeah, he got sick so many times
his vocal cords became like iron. Yeah, I'm like, even about today
when he got sick on his first trip. All right, we only have a
couple more. Next one, the chest.
Just there you go. Lulu
are witnessing a miracle, right? Yeah. All of a sudden no more
cough.
Rubbish trolleys, sundry were serially Emery was a little
awkward. It's a millennial. Mahakali. This is for giving a
speech. This is for anxiety of the chest like when your chest is
tight, and because you're sad about something. It's for giving a
speech, right? It's for hardship of affairs. And it's when you
can't express yourself, okay? And it's when you need to communicate.
You recite this dua, this Ayah from surah Taha it's 25 through 28
It's three eyes. I don't wish I had a Saturday where suddenly
every one of you looked at a Melissa Annie, you have Coco Lee,
this is Prophet Musa what he said before said going to the foot out,
right of course we know the first thing he said say to found a
gentle word. Some people stop at that
30 years later, he's still saying a gentle word and the guy's
killing gun and pressing it realized that the matter escalated
a little bit. But of course that's of course that's a profit right?
So he was doing that by Allah's command. Not everyone. Anyone else
come in. Now.
For the chest sicknesses of the chest where she felt, oddly enough
is sudo. Right?
Once you've only met her salute, and this is a general recitation
of Quran in general for the just because he says in it, it is a
cure for what is in the chests. That's not the spiritual is
physical to write what she felt when he met with sudo. Okay, and
that is from sunnah to Yunus 57 For those who are trying to write
these down. All right, the next one for heart and stress and
everything related medical we said that already from suitor to route
by the remembrance of Allah with charisma Becca and recite the Name
of your Lord. All right, for birth, any women who are about to
have a baby. Alright, if you're in labor, you recite the first three
ideas of suitable in Chicago it is a mountain shortcut
if the sky opens up wherever you get the rockets and it took
permission from its Lord at an empty what we're either out of the
mud and if the earth expanded alright, what l cuts mafia what's
a whole lot Okay, and emptied what is in it right and released what
is in it it became empty and then you just repeat that last I every
time you open this if you keep repeating well cut mafia was a
harlot atmosphere with the volatile means and it released
what's in it and became empty. So in this case, you're talking about
the womb, right? So what the womb Okay, so that's a beautiful one.
And I said it to my friend one time he said my wife is about to
have a baby. Right and
and is there a vicar for this? Or is there a I said yes. suited to
lynch o'clock, right. In the summer and chuck a little bit of
hope, but with a lot of muda to Alcott Murphy said, Is there a
hadith about that? I said, it's in the Quran, right? Quran right?
Because you recite what makes sense. And this makes sense. Well,
Pat Murphy what Salat and it releases what's inside of it.
Right. And it became empty. So you're talking about your womb,
okay. To tell you to recite the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala. Yeah.
So it just like we said in the opening, what is the whole soul of
this subject matter? It's all he had based on the meanings. And we
just said I was I heard that he made he had that Fatiha, which has
no verses of healing at all, is a rookie. Okay, so the automat all
have agreed that
that this matter is basically
I've used this Yeah. Yeah. Numerous times. Yeah. Which one?
That was a good idea. Yeah, that's very important. But oh, by the
way, by the way, anything fatter anything that you want. If you
live in team if you go visit element, or Mustafa euroset like
1005.
I was with the taxi driver said we're passing the grave of Sancho
Fattah.
Talk a little bit right gravestones of fascia.
Fascia, we were saying fetchers all day, right. But it's beautiful
because those people in the graves getting benefit, right? They
benefit from that risk benefit and your benefit because talking about
whatever Yeah, who want a miracle 99
His comment was so funny. He's a Kaiser. He was a common man from
Teddy and probably from that debate because so many people from
my little bit, but his commentary was so funny. This he was he was
like, you know, the Wahhabis as a biller. I was like okay, no Facha
here no Facha and the next row, no touch and the next one was this
okay,
if you have if a child or an adult or anyone fears
it gets shocked, right or is having fears or nightmares. Okay.
Follow Robina Allah Danny him Phil Caffee Cena added a thermal bath
and Elmley now Malema a Will his beanie Assadi Malaby through
amader so why does he recite this is from Pseudotsuga cafe's 11 and
12 because they were afraid, and they went into the cave and Allah
subhanaw taala closed their senses from what they feared, he closed
in upon them from what they feared for that, I'm gonna add that to
him. Phil Caffee. See, Nina added a thermal bath in our home the
anatomy or his Vini outside in Malibu, which means that then when
you come out of that, you will see who's victorious which of course
means that the people have allowed the victorious All right, so there
are many others but of course we're going in on two hours. Now.
Of course, the chapter on the gin is like volumes, right? Of course.
It suffices for hassad is to be fun, aka Ness. Alright, follow up
on us and some sometimes you know you can you don't always agree
with HG head of a scholar because he seems like he's stretching,
right? Like making a stretch on something but you know, it's all
put on. So what are you going to lose? You have nothing to lose
anyway. Metal questa metal kata here's a hadith or Accra just died
me I didn't Moguera regarding forgetfulness man Cara Archana at
the minute Bacara in the home and Miami Heat, let me answer Quran.
Okay, so what are the Autobahn Awali Well, it's a crazy way it's
at Badger, a tiny badger with another Arkadia so this Hadith
from dead me, the prophesy said I've said, whoever wants to
memorize the Quran if you're a Hafez and you need to keep up
memorizing, then every night before you sleep, you recite the
four first eyes of Bukhara, ated courtesy and the next two after it
and the last three days for the whole fourth, or anyone who has
memorized now someone's gonna say he's gonna recite all that because
like, recite the whole Quran.
Opposite of the Quran. Right? Now, some people say all these
stickers, who has time for all this stuff? I mean, listen, when
you get sick, you at least you have you have a reference you
think you remember? No, he was reciting the book of God every
single night. He's it's a reference book. It's an
encyclopedia. Yeah. And I think one thing that's important to note
is, once you do get into the rhythm of reciting Quran, it gets
easier. Oh, right. I mean, it's obviously it's very daunting to
someone who doesn't recite Quran that often, you know, how am I
going to be able to do this? How can I go to reciting, you know,
his, his birthday is mind blowing to a lot of people who don't run
out in the practice of reciting Quran. One thing that I'd like to
bring up as a concept
is, so my brother actually told me about it, he's into boxing, right.
So in boxing, you know, they teach something called Flow training,
it's, it's taught by a lot of other martial arts practitioners
as well, you know, philosophy teaches it,
it's, it's this concept of, you know, doing a very minimal amount
of training every day versus, you know, trying to go all out and
burning yourself out. So he gives the example of Eastern martial
arts versus the Western martial arts, right? The, the way of
working out in the west is, you know, you go to the gym, you know,
three days a week, you you know, you do like upper body, and then
you know, lower body, and then you, but you go hard, those three
days, and then you rest for the other four. Whereas, in, you know,
the Eastern worlds, for example, how the Russians kind of work out
is, is they just do like a playful type of workout for seven days a
week, right. And, you know, if you were doing, for example, you max
out at 10, on the pull up bar, you know, the, the, you know, fit as a
hobby is, is advices, you know, that he would tell his trainees to
do like 610 Was your max, then maybe do like five, and then you
come back and you do five the next day, and you do five the next day.
And that that builds you up that over time, you know, you end up
doing a lot more. And I found that this idea of flow training, you
know, there's business folks who talk about this as well, this this
type of flow training is is it can be applied to everything, right?
And then I found it especially helps when you apply it to the
Quran, or when you apply it to Vica when you try to go and you
know, you listen to this podcast, and you're like, Hey, I'm going to
start doing like one Joseph day and you've never done you know,
any Quran, you're going to do one job and you're going to be burned
out the next day, right? Yeah, you gotta go slow. Right, right,
right. Honestly, the at a minimum, one line of Quran a day. You know,
if you can't do that, then you should look back and say why
couldn't ever say well
one line of Quran a day right but side of your saliva outside of
your Salah right outside of your sunlight like one line of Quran.
It's do it with the most often your heart and your Yeah, if you
just sit there and recite it from memory or phone, right, yeah,
almost nothing you open it read one line, because I said forget
that.
Yeah, because I know that I've tried this method with myself
right one pushup a day. And it's like, it sounds so stupid. It's
like, you know, how can you not do one pushup a day? But once you're
doing one pushup, you're like, oh, wow, I mean, kind of kind of
stupid to do one. So I'm going to do your few more rules gets
thicker. So you're like, Okay, don't work out. Don't do one
pushup a day, right? But then, I mean, almost anybody is like,
Okay, I could do one push. I mean, if you can't do the, the regular
one, do it against the wall, right? It's like, once you do one,
you're like, it's kind of stupid to do one. Right? So I'll do five.
I got it. That's, that's really good for the beginning. Yeah,
absolutely. And your groove will naturally get deeper over time,
your groove, this email has already shown about this to your
groove, will you're creating a groove every day practicing,
you're creating a groove, and your groove gets thicker and deeper
every day. But I wanted to ask a question, since you mentioned the
Russian so you said the American way
is to go hard. And the Russian way is they would. So for example,
instead of doing let's say, I'll use the example that the Russians
or the like the biggest standings in the church news in this
occasion, I know if it was a hobby specifically talked about the
Russians and the peace, but that but like, for example, it will
give an example.
Let's say you do five pull ups a day, right? For 10 days, right,
versus somebody else who comes in he does 10 on day one. recce then
does, you know, 10 on day three, and then rest, then 10 On day
four, and then on day six, and then rest, you know, by day seven,
you know, the other person has also, you know, done, what, five
times seven, they've done 35, the other person has done 30, right,
because they've done 1010 10. Right, so your quantity over time
actually ends up being greater than the other person. That's
right. I just, my only point was, the Americans was Russians,
because didn't we beat the Russians? I mean, did he was he
just gives an example in terms of the Muslims beat the Russians
certify the Afghans? Well, no, but I'm just wondering if he meant it.
I mean, he gave the example of you know, you have like this one
American who comes up out of like, you know, 10,000, whereas like
every other Russian,
like every other Russian, it's like, okay, I actually, I totally
agree with this method. And this is the method of, if anyone has,
you know, the token, the Messiah who give the good. This is what
they do small words, but don't miss a day, right? Small words in
the morning or in the night or both, but don't miss it ever. And
it's only literally three minutes, five minutes, six minutes, seven
minutes. minutes would never pass is 15 minutes. So wit, if you know
how to say never passed, but don't miss it. All right, very good. So
I think we can wrap up now, if anybody wants to close. You're
welcome to close but I'd like to get my rant about oh, let's hear
it. What is your rent? So I was gonna say I don't want to cut you
off before but I need to say something about this air through
show. Okay, let's hear it.
Let's hear it. I don't want to.
So one Okay, look, it's a great show. hamdulillah it teaches honor
and chivalry and all that good stuff. But could could it not be
done in like 15 hours versus the 350 hours?
But it's a soap opera? It's a soap opera soap operas. Come on five
days a week? Yeah. All right. I know this from from from from
Spanish culture novellas they're an hour each episode and they come
on five days every day. I mean, the whole show their true you
don't even need to know what's going on. Just listen to the music
and you'll know what's going on.
You'll be like, Oh, it's you know, you know, it's the crusade?
Because it's like, oh, you know, and then you have the tongue.
It's probably on his horse now. So I can tell you what's going on in
the show with with the video off.
We're serious in this the worst theory and this
I think that
you're gonna get refuted
I think that a lot of dudes look at it like, oh, not in an
aspirational way, but in an admiration way. They're looking at
these actors. They're just Turkish actors. They're not like actual
superheroes, right? These Turkish actors, and they're looking at him
like, man, the muscles used to be real men. And I'm sitting here
playing video games. Like just go out and become a real man.
watching on TV, you get your gun lessons, you know, you live in the
south now. I'll get my gun license. South Jersey is the
south. Yeah, my wife my wife text me what South? My wife sent me a
text.
I said that to you guys. She said
How was the drive down to the Mason Dixon Line?
And are there a lot of people trying to make America great again
down the line.
Surprisingly, there's not that many Republicans. No, yeah, no, I
was just kidding.
But um, but ya know, but you should because, believe it or not,
this is different, like the police chief in your town will be very
easy about it. They're pro gun down here, as opposed to North
Jersey. Interesting. But, yeah, that was my mind. Okay. That's not
to say that the show probably isn't I mean, it's for like,
younger kids and stuff. I think it's a great, it's probably a fun
show to watch. Oh, I see. I mean, I've seen the first season it's
just long, I wasted an incredible amount of time watching them on
the horses. That's what I got fed up. And I was like, Okay, I can't
do like 70 hours a season, right? It's ridiculous how long it is,
what I was, like, fast forward and through like the pieces and I was
like, okay, like, you know, I can't continue doing this. It's
just way too long. I'm not gonna make fun of it. Because I had my
experience, what use of memory use of me started that shows. I
watched like, like, like, well, the episodes or something. And I
was like, Come on, man. Like, what is this actually gonna start? So
it's a drama. So I get it, I get it. I'm sure it's great. There's a
lot of goodness to it as well, it's usually seven or sorry. But
it could be cut down from the 350 here. So if you're going to spend
that time, you know, read some Quran, it probably might be more
benefit. Well, here's the thing. I mean, people if someone's I never
understood someone who says, I'm going to watch this, I'm going to
get through it. It's entertainment. You watch when you
feel like, that's okay, if you're gonna sit down and you're gonna
watch it with your family. And it's like a thing. And it's like,
that's a good thing. But the people will sit and binge it. Six
weeks, like what is up with, you know, I used to do that. And then
I felt so bad, like a loser that I stopped doing. It's one thing if
somebody tells me, okay, hey, you know, me and my kids, we watch it
every night. It's like a thing. It's a family. That's cool. I
mean, that's the Halal means of you know, love. But the guy who's
binging it for six weeks.
Do you have to go 14 and a half days with no sleep and you can
finish?
I never did entertainment when I was single. There's no need,
right? I only do it for the sake of
when I was single, you my wife will I can testify to this. When
we got married and she came to my two she moved in when I was
already living on my own. There was a TV with no cable. It was
like a little box TV sitting on a milk crate with no cable. She was
like, what kind of life is
it? And when we moved to England, there was an apartment, a one
bedroom apartment and a kitchenette. No TV, no nothing, no
TV. And it was only eight months in that shift by beker Sudanic
rahamallah. I mean, have you though lagers is an England live
for now. He sort of convinced me to maybe go a little bit easy. So
I went to one of their stores. Okay. And I picked out a TV that
has a CD player I bought at home. Literally my wife was like crying.
There's got to be something and I went and I bought one DVD that we
watched if you want to watch you watch it again.
But we I was very austere as a youth because there's no need.
This is my life when you're young. Yeah, this is my youth. This is
the foundation. But once you're getting into community and family,
you have to have something to do. All right. I got I got the TV.
Right. So I was like, Alright, fine. I'll put cable right. So I
put in the cable. And I was like, What the * is going on here?
Yeah, because well, I was I'm gonna it's not a brag like I just
I just didn't have it. So I monasticism better than anybody.
But I didn't have it available. So I just stayed away from naturally.
I wasn't, I hadn't watch TV in a few years. And I listen to your
music anything and I was like, What is going on?
I was talking to Neiman Jabra. And I was like Yo, did you see what
this what the heck is on MTV right now? All you have to go to YouTube
and go to the trending trending page Subhanallah like it's just
like
it's been a running joke because I was like, Do you guys see what the
*'s going on? And they were like you don't listen to what are
you watching MTV with the sound off? And I was like I was flipping
through the channel bro. It's crazy. final final comment for
parents. Would you allow me to come and spend the night with your
kid alone
right you wouldn't you to joke right horse? It's absurd. Why
would you let a stranger do that? What in the world is a tv computer
cell phone alone with in your kid who's like 12 years old? 11 years
old? Right? Just think about it. Your local Imam says let me come
sleep over with your kid tonight. You'd like to be gone crazy. But
you don't think that through the internet and computers? Okay, so
nothing physical No touching. Right? But that's the only thing
that the computer the internet the cell phone is no touching. Right?
But
other than that, would you allow a cloud to come I won't touch a kid
but let me entertain him. Right absolute stranger. No touching.
But let me entertain him behind the glass wall. Yeah, behind the
glass wall. Me and him all alone at night and I might strip. Yeah,
because that's
it
If anything goes anything, the only thing is glass wall between
me and him. Close the door. And don't look, would you allow it?
Anything Goes sounds like the plot of a harm. Yeah, it is. It is.
It's modernity by the way. It's a different subject, but it's the
same subject. Yeah, just like you wouldn't let the show go. Can I
stay over with your kid? Don't send your kid to stay with the
show. And of course, no, no, there's no need for you to be
shipping your kid off to their knowledge nowadays. Do not do not
be in the same room. Even if it's like the even like the backroom of
our mustard. We have cameras everywhere. It's a policy you
cannot be in the same place with a minor. I'm encouraging people not
to send their kids off to boarding like Islamic schools. Yeah, don't
do it boarding don't send it because there's always some
pervert that gravitates towards that kind of environment.
Don't think because everybody they're praising has a beard that
there's not some sickle in fact, they're almost always just
does that glove here. Thank you very much.
